About

Helps

When you donate a vehicle to Cars for Homes, the proceeds can support funding for programs like Aging in Place, Habitat for Humanity’s initiative that helps older adults remain in their homes by providing critical repairs, accessibility modifications, and connections to community resources that aid in sustaining healthy, independent living. We know that when seniors can age safely at home, they’re more likely to stay connected to loved ones, maintain their health, and enjoy a higher quality of life. 🔗 https://dekalbhabitat.org/donate-a-car

Today, @statefarm employees volunteered with Habitat for Humanity DeKalb to help a senior with home accessibility and safety upgrades. The team started by building a ramp which included digging and moving dirt, marking where the support posts would go, digging the post holes, cutting, assembling and fitting the wood framing, and installing the frame of the ramp. They also installed grab bars in the bathroom, which helps seniors maintain balance and have support when getting in and out of the shower and using the toilet. This reduces the risk of slips and making daily routines easier. To round out the safety upgrades, they installed smoke detectors for early warning and added peace of mind for the household. Lunch was provided by Bell Street Burritos, helping fuel everyone’s energy!

Your gift does more than fund repairs or construction. It gives peace of mind to a homeowner worried about falling in their bathroom. It gives a family warmth in the winter and relief during the summer. It helps neighbors remain independent, safe, and rooted in the community they call home. Visit our profile to see what we do.

Taryln P. faithfully drove her Jeep for more than two decades. After years of travel, memories, and several moves, she decided it was time to part with her trusted vehicle. Donating a car is about more than giving away a vehicle — it helps fuel our programs and creates opportunities for families searching for stable housing.

Weatherstripping is a simple but effective home maintenance task to tackle this spring. Over time, seals around doors and windows can wear down, crack, or loosen, allowing air to leak in and out of your home. As temperatures shift, these small gaps can make it harder to maintain a comfortable indoor environment and increase energy costs. Replacing or repairing weatherstripping helps keep cool air inside as warmer weather approaches. Start by checking doors and windows for drafts, visible gaps, or worn materials. Weatherstripping materials are affordable and easy to install. Addressing these areas now can reduce strain on your HVAC system and help maintain consistent indoor temperatures.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our 3rd Annual Blue Jeans, BBQ, & Blueprints Festival and fundraiser this past Saturday — sponsors, donors, volunteers, playhouse teams, recipient families, vendors, and guests. Your support directly helps us build and repair more homes for families across DeKalb County. We hoped the rain would hold off, but it showed up anyway. Even so, the energy, teamwork, and community spirit never let up. Despite the weather, it was still a great day filled with connection, creativity, and celebration. Check out the LOL Doll playhouse created by Decatur Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (@dstdac), winners of the 2026 Playhouse Olympics. The creativity and attention to detail is off the charts!
